Time travel isn’t just for sci-fi movies. In Prague, it’s as simple as looking up. The Astronomical Clock, a marvel of medieval engineering, has been tracking the cosmos since 1410. Imagine a time when Columbus was setting sail and Joan of Arc was leading armies – this clock has seen it all.
Four different time systems, the movements of the sun, moon, and stars – it’s a masterpiece of craftsmanship and artistry that seemed utterly miraculous 600 years ago and still baffles many today. Take a moment to contemplate its intricate mechanics, and you’ll gain a whole new appreciation for the passage of time.
And where better to ponder the mysteries of the universe than from the luxurious comfort of Almanac X Alcron Prague? At Almanac X Alcron Prague, you’re not just a guest; you’re a connoisseur of time, experiencing the best of the city with effortless ease.
